What are the symptoms of COVID-19 ? Fever, tiredness, and dry cough
Some patients may have aches and pains, nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhea
Some points worth to Note:
Symptoms are usually mild and begin gradually
Some people become infected but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell!
Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment
Around 1 out of every 6 people who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and develops difficulty breathing
Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like high blood pressure, heart problems or diabetes, are more likely to develop serious illness.
About 2% of people with the disease have died

How does COVID-19 spreads? People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus.
The disease can spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs or exhales. These droplets land on objects and surfaces around the person. Other people then catch COVID-19 by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
People can also catch COVID-19 if they breathe in droplets from a person with COVID-19 who coughs out or exhales droplets. This is why it is important to stay more than 1 meter (3 feet) away from a person who is sick
How long is incubation period for COVID-19? The “incubation period” means the time between catching the virus and beginning to have symptoms
of the disease
Most estimates of the incubation period for COVID-19 range from 1-14 days, most commonly around five days. These estimates will be updated as more data become available.
